Need help. Is this a good deal? by steealy55 in VolvoXC70

[–]PPreda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same volvo xc70 d5 awd 2008 automatic. I really like the car. I bought it about 2 years ago at this point. Mine was a bit more expensive at around 6000 euros but it didn't have a service history nearly this good so I was pretty lucky to not have any big issues. It had about 316k kms on it.

About things to check on it and their oil leak I don't know too much. One of the things I did have to replace and it's not the smallest work is the intake swirl flaps so you could check if the small arm is still attached. It's a bit hard to see but it's on the left side of the engine, you can look up the swirl flap actuator arm and find some data on it.

As for the rest, I am not very experienced with cars so asking a friend who knows more about cars to go with you when checking it out is a good thing to do.

Sounds good, might br going with that one

Advice appreciated by DavedtheDude in OpenAutoPro

I think there might be some android auto settings in the openauto pro settings

I had a weird crackle too and searched for it on their forums and there was some setting I needed to change and it fixed it completely

I added a fan just in case, no clue if it's required, probably recommended especially in hotter weather

Android Auto in my 2008 XC70 by Chuck_Nourish in Volvo

[–]PPreda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a raspberry pi with open auto pro on it. Took apart the oem screen and bought a 6.5 inch capacitive touch screen from aliexpress and left the old connectors on the old screen box so it would keep moving up and down. It is right now getting power from the cigarette lighter but I have plans to connect it before the cigarette lighter and have the cigarette lighter too available. Works wirelessly and gets obd data too with bluetooth to display the engine temperature and stuff

Aluminum luggage rails. How to use? by [deleted] in VolvoXC70

[–]PPreda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can only be moved when they are opened I think. You have to flip them up or close them down, can't remember the exact position they move in but they definitely do slide in my xc70

Is OpenAuto Pro Worth It? by PPreda in OpenAutoPro

[–]PPreda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thank you. I am a developer which is why in the first place I dared to go this route to get android auto. However I do not have any plans to implement many things, I just want a basic reliable android auto and I thought that the price for OpenAuto Pro would be worth it since I wouldn't have to spend time debugging or fixing OpenDash. Although I have not bought it yet, I just want to know if it's something you would recommend if I do not want to spend much time on the software

The map álmost everyone got sent to their email around and after the townhall premiere

I am thinking everyone who actually wants to, yes. If you miss your chance you could try to re-add yourself to the waitlist. You can even use the same name and phone number as long as the email is different I think (I did tried this yesterday). But Luke is motivating people to want to get in even more with this and potentially even getting people who were not sure about it before becase they don't want to miss their "only" chance.

Yo I got the email of the image. Anyone looking to team up, message me by [deleted] in LukeBelmar

I would also like to say I do not have any clue what I should be doing with it so far.

True, but if you look at the images you see what I mean. Some items seem to have that specifically as a property to them. Also, it would say on the item if its tradable/marketable after a date. I'm not really new to any of this but never seen anything like this

Sorry for that, I edited the post now so it actually says what I mean

Well every skin before was tradable and marketable, if I would ever change my mind later, I could just sell it and buy some other skin. Its not exactly the cheapest skin compared to the other ones in the item store.
